Original subtitles

You are a very attractive woman.

You're also a very frustrating woman.

Angela told me a great deal about you. You must be thrilled that I'm marrying

her and taking her away from here.

Peter, he's only joking.

I'll tell you a secret, Angela. I'm not joking at all.

Where's the baby's father?

He... stays in touch.

Why don't we start at the beginning?

Madrid, Crete, Bombay.

We could be married anywhere in the world, Angela.

The valley will be just perfect. We can have a very small wedding.

Wouldn't it be nice to exchange vows in neutral territory?

Geneva's lovely this time of the year. You're making it sound like a summer

conference instead of a wedding.

Well, how about London? It's much more romantic than people give it credit for.

Peter, I have asked you for a long engagement. Now you want a short

Uh -huh.

Well? I'm not surrendering anymore.

I mean, it's the Tuscany Valley, or it's nothing.

Very well.

Now, why don't we talk about our engagement part?

All right. What have you got in mind? Well, I was thinking about the flowers

the people that we have to invite.

Why don't you tell me?

Brisbane was great.

The land was flat and the air was hot.

How are your beats?

Lettuce, Mrs. Channing.

Thank you very much for bringing Emma back.

Sorry you didn't think to bring her back last night.

Bye, Dwayne.

Call me.

I'm going to go in and tell Lance all about my trip.

Come on in if you want to eavesdrop.

I certainly do.

I get the feeling Mrs. Channing doesn't like me.

How long have you had this rig?

A year and a half.

It reminds me of my very first boat.

Polished till it glowed, loved like a child.

Now the whole planet is covered with my ships.

Most of them smell as bad as they look.

Sometimes I wish I'd just stayed with that first boat.

You all right, Pete?

Yeah, I'm fine, boy.

Better move this thing before Angela has a toad.

Castillo may be corrupt, but he's not dumb.

It's going to be tough to catch. And he's been in Angela's pocket ever since

was elected to the Board of Supervisors. Oh, she's just using him to try to

drive us out of the business. She would love to see our winery about 30 feet

underwater. Look, I'm sorry about what's happening to you, but I can't spend all

my time trapping supervisors.

Our opportunity is past.

Turn Terry down cold.

But we only talked about the poker parlor. I haven't turned on the old

yet.

Terry, for crying out loud, you're not a vice officer.

Maggie, please, this is something I really want to do for you and Shane.

Besides, men sometimes find me hard to resist.

If you are determined to trap Costello, it might be the only chance we've got.

What are you going to do?

Videotape him sleeping with her?

Maggie, please.

I'm bigger than he is.

Yeah, well, I'm sure we can come up with a better solution.

Like what?

I don't see anybody else volunteering for the job.

Just how far are you willing to go with this, Sheriff?

I'll keep everything under control.

The question is, will Costello?

The Whitakers.

I thought you said you were never speaking to them again.

There's no reason not to invite them to the engagement party.

After all, they are out of the wine business.

Because you put them there.

What about Chase and Maggie Gioberti? You're going to invite them, aren't you?

Of course.

They're almost out of the wine business.

Is there anyone at this party that you haven't put out of business?

Well, let me think.

Congratulations, Angela.

I understand that you and Peter have finally set a date.

But do tell me, please, how you expect me to draw up a prenuptial agreement in

only ten days.

I hope those are the harvest contracts I've been waiting for. Come on, Angela,

lighten up. After all, you are getting married.

What other choice do I have? Peter's holding two -thirds of Falcon Crest as

ransom. Mother, I have a wonderful idea.

Why don't you and I have a double ceremony?

I was thinking of asking Duane to marry me anyway.

Out!

Out,

both of you!

Come on, Emma.

Your marriage to Lancer has been officially annulled.

That means that you and Cole can have your marriage blessed by the church

whenever you're ready.

I had no idea the annulment would come through so soon.

We should have gotten married in the church in the first place.

Maybe we could have avoided some of our problems.

We'll talk about the arrangements when we get home tonight.

Thank you.

You don't seem very excited.

Did you really expect me to be happy about this?

You know what my marriage has been like.

Now you have a chance to turn it around.

Yes, Cole and I have a chance to take our problems and make them permanent.

Well, that all depends on your attitude, doesn't it?

It's not just Cole.

You know how I feel about you.

Talk to Cole.

Set a date to have your marriage blessed.

Mrs. Angela, Gioberti Channing, Erickson Stavros.

I think you got all of Europe and Asia covered there.

Well, it's a shame other people don't have more ambitious tastes.

I never knew meals here were so pleasant.

Wait until dinner. Bring your own handgun.

Excuse me, Lance.

This just arrived for you.

Oh, grandmother, it's a summons.

Mrs. Angela Channing, plaintiff, versus Lance Compson and Richard Channing,

defendants. Mother, a summons at breakfast, isn't that kind of tacky?

Not as tacky as trading the new globe for a miserable radio station.

A trade that I intend to undo.

Well, I'm awfully sorry, Grandmother, but you're going to lose this lawsuit.

Because Richard and I did everything by the book.

If you'll excuse me.

Emma, have a nice day.

Thank you.

The station's getting new call letters at noon.

Tune in.

It's something I know you won't want to miss.

And I just wanted you to know that I really resented that they are taking you

off the air.

You resented?

Imagine how my landlord feels.

Well, that wraps it up for now.

I'm feeling another radio station, San Francisco.

This is Phil Layton, K -R -D -C.

Good day.

K -B -R -R, rock and roll for the Bay Area.

Goodbye, Phil.

Goodbye, K -R -D -C.

And say hello to K -B -R -R, Bay Rock Radio. All hits, all the time, where

giving away $1 ,000 an hour every hour for the next week. And here's a hot new

one for you. Her name's Apollonia, and she's looking for a red light Romeo.

What do you think?

Think it's going to be a hit?

It's not going to take long to find out.

Lance Compton's going to lose his shirt over the love of that woman. Richard,

there are many far -left honorable reasons for going broke.

Average, bluff, lust. And number three, accusations, Counselor.

Observations, Richard.

But if the shoe fits.

It doesn't.

Look, we really do need to discuss this lawsuit Angela Channing has filed.

I would like to talk about you.

Do you know that I've got a team of investigators out there?

Checking up on your background just so I can find out what makes you tick.

I know.

Richard, and it's such a waste of your money.

Now, unfortunately, while Angela Channing's case is not exactly strong,

also not totally without merit.

The judge may deny my motion. You know that my people, my spies, they tell me

that you don't have any social life at all.

Unless you count the, uh, let's see, it's one night a week that you...

are counseling at a home for disturbed girls, which is very commendable.

Tell you what, Richard.

Why don't you just let me know when you do feel like discussing the case?

Don't you think my co -defendant should be here?

I've already spoken to him. He gave me a very nice retainer early this morning.

Efficient.

That's it.

Efficient. You are efficient. That is the only word I can think of right now

describe you. Why, thank you, Mr. Channing. I cannot think of a higher

compliment for a client to pay his attorney.

But as you frequently point out, my time is very expensive, and I can think of

far better things to do with it than sit here and continue this conversation.

Oh, now, now, here.

Now, hold on just a second here.

Now, the only reason I'm asking you all these things is because I've got to find

out whether or not...

can trust you.

What's wrong?

You've got to learn to relax a little.

You are a very attractive woman.

You're also a very frustrating woman.

If you ever try that again, I will sue you for sexual harassment. And if you

think I'm efficient right now, you just wait till you see me on the other side

of a courtroom.

It's so beautiful here.

Do you know, I've been here for months, and I never even knew this place

existed. Well, I am amazed that Melissa and Cole didn't bring you here.

I would prefer that you didn't mention this luncheon to them, because Melissa

and I have had our differences over the years.

Oh, I know what you mean.

I try to stay out of her way as much as I can.

Well, you make it sound as if you're not welcome.

You know, being an unwed mother isn't easy.

But I admire you for going through with your pregnancy.

Is that why you asked me here? I mean, to talk about my baby? My older daughter

went through the same thing.

You know, I don't want to pry, but I just feel so sad that you don't have

someone to talk to.

Like, um...

Where is the baby's father?

He stays in touch.

A friend of mine said that Cole was standing in for him.

I mean, you know, taking you to the doctor and the childbirth session.

sure do talk a lot around here.

Well, I just wish you had someone to turn to.

Because I know how cruel Melissa can be.

Is there something wrong with your salad?

My salad?

With me? With my life?

I went through the same thing with my daughter during her pregnancy.

And I don't think we were ever closer.

Why don't we start at the beginning?

Because I think I can help you.

Robin, you have to trust me.

There's room in here for a dozen card tables, plus we push the far wall out

add 21.

Well, this is an election year.

Gambling makes a lot of people uncomfortable, especially politicians.

Anyway, I'm not the only member of the Board of Supervisors. Why don't you talk

to your brother -in -law?

Well, Chase and I have really never gotten along.

Besides,

you're the real mover and shaker in the Tuscany Valley.

Would you like some more champagne?

No.

No, my wife is waiting for me at home.

Let her wait.

She thinks she's done it.

Hamlin sounds like a real pro.

Surprised she hasn't worked undercover before.

She has, under plenty of them.

You're a big girl, Chase.

Yeah, but I'm going in there. No, you're not.

You got me into this, but now that I'm in it, I'm making the decisions.

I'm the one wearing the badge, remember?

There's nothing I can do to help you with your card club. I'm sorry.

Wait.

I haven't been completely honest with you.

I'm in over my head here. I'm about to lose everything.

The poker club is my last hope.

That's what I like to hear.

Desperation.

Come on, come on. Make an offer, Costello.

I'll do what I can do for a quarter of a million dollars in cash.

And certain other considerations we'll get around to sooner or later.

I'll call you when I have the money.

Do that.

Hi.

Catch him taking a payoff and then lock him up for a long, long time.

Right.

Emma's a grown woman. You shouldn't be interfering.

Dwayne Cooley is riffraff.

And I don't want her associating with him.

Talking about me again, huh, Mother?

No. About your trucker.

Oh, he's cute, isn't he? Now, don't get any ideas. I saw him first.

Emma, won't you join us?

Oh, I can't.

I have an aerobics class in town.

Dwayne loves athletic women.

Bye -bye.

Suppose they get married.

What kind of children will they produce?

Oh, Peter, I'm so depressed.

Emma has never been happier.

Do you love me?

We're getting married, aren't we? That's not what I asked.

Do you love me, Angela?

What am I going to say to a question like that?

Well, anything. Yes, no, maybe sometimes.

Let's do it again.

Peter, we're too busy for this.

The answer is... Yes.

Now, are you happy?

Beyond words

I

Just wanted to stop by and apologize for the

episode no arm

I was a little curious to know what you thought I was up to. Nothing.

I... It's just me.

A misunderstanding.

Somebody give you a good scare once, Jordan.

Richard, I am your attorney.

And you are my client.

And I am glad to stay up till all hours of the morning talking with you about

legal precedents. But let's just leave my private life private, all right?

All these mysteries got me to wondering if I can trust you.

Well, why bother? You wouldn't anyway.

You don't trust anybody.

Oh, you're probably right.

You know why?

Trusting somebody is like perching yourself out there on the limb of a tree

then waiting for someone to come along and saw it off.

Yeah.

No, no, don't kick her out.

And don't let her know that you talked to me.

Sandra Wilder has some sort of surprise planned for me.

I'll bet she does.

Now, now.

She obviously finds me irresistible.

Just don't get yourself too far out on that limb.

I'm sorry I brought her up.

Hello, Richard.

How did you get

in here?

I'm in advertising. I've learned to be persuasive.

I was hoping I could persuade you to join me for lunch.

Well, you've taken over my office. I don't see that I have much choice.

Say the word, Richard, and I'll walk out of here and never come back again.

Matthew, will you excuse us?

Cass, you should have given me a little warning.

I've already eaten.

We can always skip to dessert.

Hello, Mother.

Having trouble?

No, I'm having a picnic.

Can I change the tire for you, Mrs. Channing? I would appreciate it if you

would. Well, I don't know if we should help you.

Emma. Well, okay, but you owe me one.

The jack's missing.

Well, it's impossible.

This is a brand new car.

Uh -oh.

The jack's in my bedroom.

Well, I didn't know you were going to need it.

What'd you do, change a bedpost?

You know that big window that's always getting stuck?

I fixed it.

Listen, we're riding into town. Why don't you come along with us? I'm on my

back to Falcon Crest, and I'm not about to climb into that... that thing.

Maybe you won't have to.

Mrs. Channing, would you stand right over here, please?

Emma, can you change a tire?

Sure.

Will you stop fooling around and go into town and get a tow truck?

No need, ma 'am.

Go to work, Emma!

As the chairman of the board and the principal stockholder of the New Globe

Corporation, Mr. Compson has every legal right to enter into a business

agreement with Mr.

Channing, even to the point of exchanging holdings.

Your Honor, this case is totally without foundation.

It's simply the last desperate act of an angry grandmother who cannot control

her own progeny.

Objection, Your Honor.

Miss Roberts is supposed to be making a motion, not speculating upon my client's

motives.

Sustained.

Your Honor, I move for a summary dismissal of this case. It's frivolous

without merit.

Your Honor, Mrs. Channing is a major stockholder in the New Globe. She's

perfectly entitled to argue her case in court.

Motion denied, Miss Roberts.

The full hearing will begin next Monday, unless you'd like to petition for a

postponement.

Your Honor, we don't wish to draw out these proceedings any longer than

necessary.

The defense is ready to go to trial.

This is highly unusual.

If the defense is not prepared to apply for a postponement, then the plaintiff

must. Your Honor, if the plaintiff needs a postponement before the trial even

begins, why was this lawsuit ever filed in the first place?

Good question, Ms. Roberts.

Denied.

Court's in recess until Monday morning at 9 a .m.

Know what you're doing?

We just found out about this.

Richard, this is commonly called an ambush.

And I don't intend to take any prisoners.

So I don't end up like Custer.

You lose this case, you lose your job.

Don't tempt me.

I want the new globe back.

I'd love to give it back to you, Angela, but I'm an attorney, not a magician.

You asked for a watertight contract.

Catch you Monday.

Maneuver backfires.

Excuse me.

Congratulations.

That was highly unusual and potentially dangerous.

Well, for one of us at least.

Would you like to discuss it over lunch?

No, thanks. I don't have time. I have far too much work to do.

And I'm sure you have even more.

And my bullet tape.

Is it all there?

Whatever million dollars in the 50s.

Oh, nice and crisp.

What's that about?

Not so fast.

I want to know what happens next.

Go get your poker club. I'll enter a motion for the next board meeting.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch.

Now.

I'm going to have to place you under arrest, Mr. Cotella. You have the right

to... I know my rights, damn it!

I haven't done a thing.

Hello, John. What's happening?

Yeah.

This whole thing was a set -up.

You'll hear from my attorney, Gepetti!

I give you regards to the Board of Supervisors.

Meeting of the Tuscany County Board of Supervisors is called to order.

As most of you know by now, Supervisor John Costello was indicted yesterday for

soliciting a bribe.

He pleaded guilty as charged and has resigned his position with the county.

This board met in closed emergency session last night.

The board was concerned that the water project, which... Supervisor Costello

recently pushed through, was purchased by certain special

interests here in the valley, so after careful consideration, his water plan

rejected in its entirety.

Good morning.

Angela, we don't have to see you at these meetings.

Maybe you would if the supervisors would learn not to drone on.

By the way, we got the invitation to your engagement party, Jason. I would be

delighted to be there.

hoping to encourage someone with holdings along the Tuscany River to sell

acres for construction of a reservoir.

Perhaps someone like Angela Channing, who has pushed long and hard for a new

water district, working behind the scenes, speaking to members of the

offering her wholehearted support.

I don't know what good my land would do. The Tuscany River crosses a small

corner of it.

Yeah.

corner is all we really need.

And we've said we don't want to institute condemnation procedures.

It's our hope that this plan would be completely voluntary.

Well, I would be delighted to donate the land to the county free of charge.

Well, I move that we accept Mrs. Channing's offer in the spirit in which

made. I second.

Those in favor?

Emotion care.

That was very magnanimous of you, Angela.

You know, they're probably going to name it the Angela Channing Dam.

But you and Chase can come to me any time you'd like.

Just bring your suit.

And I'll bring the cement.

This is really exciting.

This is our request list. Look where Red Light Romeo is, right at number one.

No wonder Turnstile Records wants to record you.

You know, they want us to remaster the song before they release it.

We could always clean up the rough edges in the studio.

I don't think that's going to be a problem.

Not ever.

Yeah.

Who?

No, I don't know any such person. Do you know a Walker McDowell?

Yeah. Is he here?

Tell him he's in a meeting.

Wait.

He's a friend.

I'd like to see him. Okay, send him in.

as ever. Well, how did you find me? Wasn't hard.

Hi.

Getting a lot of airplay these days. Congratulations.

Thanks.

Oh, Walker, I'd like for you to meet Lance Kempson. Hi.

Can I buy you a drink?

A lot's happened in the last few years, you know. I sold about a dozen tunes,

seen a couple of them move up the charts.

Neil, Kenny, they're all buying from me.

I could put you in touch with a lot of the right people.

She's got a manager.

How about a night on the town for old time's sake?

You want to come with us?

No.

You go ahead.

I got lots of work to do here.

Don't stay out too late, okay? We have an early engagement tomorrow.

Dwayne Cooley. This is Chase and Maggie Gilbert.

Dwayne, how you doing?

Hi. Hi.

Um, are you two, uh... We're in love.

Mother doesn't like him one little bit. In fact, she's doing everything she can

to get rid of him.

Dwayne looks like he can take care of himself.

Come on, Emma.

Some party, isn't it? Yeah, well, it always is. It's Falcon Crest. I hope

armed, Floyd. These family get -togethers can turn mean.

Sorry, Chase. My day off.

Ah.

See you later. See you later.

Angela? Maggie!

Chase! You haven't met Peter. No, we haven't. Chase Giverny, my wife Maggie.

Peter Stavros. How do you do?

Good.

Angela's told me a great deal about you.

You must be thrilled that I'm marrying her and taking her away from here.

Peter, he's only joking.

I'll tell you a secret, Angela. I'm not joking at all.

But if you wish to keep believing that, it's up to you.

Pleasure meeting you.

That was a cute little stunt you pulled yesterday at the Board of Supervisors

meeting. I knew you'd appreciate that.

Campaign Thank you Tell me something Richard

There's no love lost between you and Angela.

Why did she invite you to her engagement party?

And what's more, why did you come?

Angela didn't invite her enemies to these things. No one would be here.

I love these things. I come for the free hors d 'oeuvres. Why are you here?

You told me to come.

Don't worry, I'm charging you by the minute.

You just make sure you do your working for me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Robin, I can't tell you how glad I am to see you.

Oh, thank you so much for inviting me.

These hors d 'oeuvres are great. I mean, I could take out all day.

Well, just feel free.

Actually, I was hoping maybe you could introduce me to some of these powerful

friends of yours. Well, maybe later, darling.

Oh,

oops.

Why don't you just leave the tray with her?

Oh, thanks.

Now, listen.

This is my engagement party. You could at least look like you're enjoying

yourself. Oh, I'm having the time of my life, Grandmother. You know, your

weddings always are a blast.

May tells me that Apollonia didn't sleep in her bed last night.

I never did think she was a reliable person. Now, this ought to straighten

out. Well, look.

Why don't you let me worry about Apollonia, and you worry about all your

and relatives who love you so dearly?

Why do you wear these?

Who are you hiding from?

Guys, help yourselves. Robin.

I've got to get something to drink.

Are you all right?

Don't ask.

What is she doing here?

Don't ask me.

Angela invited her.

Now, every engagement party needs an unwed mother.

She's... Lance.

Where the hell you been?

With Walker.

You were gone all night.

Or I should have called.

We're old friends, and all we did was talk.

Talk? I'm supposed to believe that?

What are you looking at?

I don't do floor shows.

It's the truth.

You came back, didn't I?

Come on.

I don't know who I'm going to back.

Looking for you everywhere.

I was over in the garden.

Party's amazing.

I hate these things.

Really?

Oh, no, I think they're great.

Of course, I led a sheltered life.

It's a great line, but you're not going to be able to get by with it much

longer.

You know that, don't you?

That is magnificent.

What is it?

I see that you and Father Christopher are getting along quite well.

Yeah. It's hard to imagine that he's your grandson.

You keep your claws out of him.

Don't look so shocked.

I've seen that faraway look in your eyes before.

You're dreaming, Angela.

I hope I am.

I certainly hope I am.

Does this remind you of somebody?

Ladies and gentlemen, I can't tell you how happy I am to be here today to meet

all of Angela's friends and family.

How fortunate you are to have lived so close to her for such a long time.

Well, now it's my turn.

Angela. Thank you, Peter.

It does my heart good to see you all gathered at the same place at the same

time. You know, I want to thank Maggie and Chase and Richard for coming. I know

we've had our differences over the years, but we are still family.

And just to let you know that there are no hard feelings, I'm going to let you

in on a sweet little secret they're keeping.

I want us to raise a toast to Robin Agretti and her courage in bringing a

into the world under the most... Frying of circumstances.

To you, Robin.

Of

course, it would be

bad form if we didn't congratulate the father of the baby. So, here is to Cole

Gioberti.

Next on Falcon Crest.

Cole and Melissa have decided to have their marriage blessed in the church.

Whatever you think just happened today.

She's not accepting submissions.

If she's willing to take a chance, why can't you? Why don't you two stop

like I'm not here?

Why don't I just stop talking?

Why are you stopping?

We'll be late for the ceremony.

Please get out of the car now, Mr.

Stavros.

Hi.
